Worming....

It seems every time we give a worming tablet to Millie (in her food) she is sick after an hour or so afterward. She seems a bit lethargic too. Is this normal or are we doing something wrong?

What type/brand of tablets are you using ?

What brand worker are you giving her & how old is she? How often are you worming her?

Bob Martin, every 2 months...

Bob Martins is useless, and I've often heard of dogs being sick afterwards. I would always go for a veterinary one like Milbemax or Advocate. Milbemax is given once a month (the amount depends on the age/weight of the dog) until 6 months old & then every 3 months. Advocate is a spot on monthly application.

I use Milbemax & have never had a problem with it.

Thanks for advice, just trying to do the right thing but she isn't right afterwards for deffo.
We have her registered at the local vets so will take their advice, thanks for info though

I use drontal for worming Xx

Drontal, Quantel, Milbemax, Advocate - all good veterinary brand dewormers.

I use Milbemax from our Vet , did use Drontal flavour for Tilly before we got Tommy but learned about Milbemax from here and our vet as Milbemax helps in the fight against lungworm

Use the vet we go once a month cost £6.00 .

when it comes to worming any owners that have kept dogs for 25years plus will have a really good idea whats good and whats not .
in the field of parasite control a vet will tell you of the one there practice is given manufacturer discount to sell normally drontal/milbamax/or advacate.
